"11 million workers in the construction industry count on real improvements to working conditions to save their health. For 70% of them MSDs is the main problem. It is preventing them earning a living, and it also affects them when they are getting older. So the EFBWW goes for clear rules and standards, and their proper implementation. Let us go on the offensive for better, lighter work."

"Excellence in professionalism and attitudes of working hard and fast to tight deadlines are key drivers for the plasterer, plasterboard and plaster block erecters as well as for dry liners. These cultural values may sometimes make it difficult for them to do their jobs in a way that minimises the risk of MSDs. A European multi-stakeholder campaign explaining MSDs at work, their symptoms, how they are diagnosed, how they might be prevented, and how they can be treated is a must for an improvement in health and safety in the workplace."

Serge Azaïs, President of Eurogypsum
